In my javascript file I have:

require(["menu/main-menu"], function (mainMenu) {

where main-menu is built from main-menu.ts. javascript/requireJS wants me to build up a define I return in main-menu. But typescript doesn't do that AFAIK.

How can I accomplish this?

Update: For example, the following tells me the export keyword is incorrect:

///<reference path='../../libs/ExtJS-4.2.0.d.ts' />
///<reference path='../../libs/require.d.ts' />

import fdm = require("./file-definitions");
require(["../../scripts/ribbon"], function () {

export module Menu {

    export class MainMenu {
    }
}

To do a manual require (e.g. for a lazy load) with a callback you can use the RequireJS definitions for TypeScript from DefinitelyTyped : https://github.com/borisyankov/DefinitelyTyped/tree/master/requirejs

How do I set up a manual require? I tried require(...) and can't find a way that works. –  David Thielen 17 hours ago
 
Exactly the same as you would do in javascript –  basarat 13 hours ago
 
I tried that, still doesn't work (see the update above with my specific code listed). Is there anything else? Thanks - dave –  David Thielen 1 hour ago

If I understand your question correctly you want to access MainMenu in JavaScript using RequireJS? Then your JavaScript should look like:

require(["path/to/MainMenu"],function(mainMenu){
    mainMenu.doSomething();
});

Now, assuming you are using TypeScript 0.9.1 or later, you can assign a value to the exported value of your module. So you could write your MainMenu.ts file like this:

class MainMenu {
    doSomething(): void {
    }
}
export = MainMenu;

I still get an error on the export in "export module Menu". How can I avoid that? thanks - dave –  David Thielen 47 mins ago
